10. APPENDIX A: Data on Paediatric Diabetes Units in the 2011-12 National Paediatric Diabetes Audit........33 Foreword

We are pleased to introduce the second annual report from the National Paediatric Diabetes Audit (NPDA), prepared by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health. The report covers the period 2011-2012 for paediatric diabetes units in England and Wales.

Findings from this year’s Audit are both heartening, and troubling. On the positive side, near-complete national coverage of paediatric diabetes units has been achieved, and the number of infants, children and young people with diabetes under the age of 25 years reported to the NPDA has increased. Measurements of HbA1c have also improved, and the percentage of patients with HbA1c values in the target range \<58mmol/mol (7.5%) has risen. Despite these achievements, fewer than one in five patients overall reach this level of diabetes control. We also note that the extent to which children and young people receive the care processes recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence remains low.

The NPDA illustrates the quality of care delivered and it is clear there are many improvements to be made. We hope that clinical teams, NHS managers, and commissioners will use the findings from the Audit to improve both the organisation and delivery of diabetes care.

We thank the NHS clinical teams that submitted data for their participation in the 2011-2012 Audit, and the important role played by the regional paediatric diabetes networks across England and Wales. We applaud the clinical leadership that has helped paediatric diabetes units submit high quality, complete data, and acknowledge this is sometimes difficult. We recognise the pressures faced by busy clinical teams and, going forward, aim to implement further improvements to facilitate data submission.

We remain confident that with the strong support shown by clinical teams and with further development of the paediatric diabetes networks around the country, the NPDA will continue to be a powerful tool for driving improvements in the delivery of care and improving outcomes for infants, children, and young people with diabetes.

1. Summary of key findings

The 2011-12 National Paediatric Diabetes Audit (NPDA) report represents a transition to a new dataset and a new electronic web platform for data submission. We are pleased to have been able to implement the submission of information from multiple patient visits over the audit period. Though this has provided many challenges to Paediatric Diabetes Units submitting data, and to the NPDA, we believe this will strengthen the quality of the Audit.

Coverage of children and young people with diabetes by the NPDA has increased. Records from 25,390 children and young people with diabetes were submitted to the 2011-12 NPDA, an increase of 7.2% compared with 23,676 in 2010-11. Some of this may be a real increase in diabetes incidence. For England and Wales combined, there were a total of 25,199 children and young people under the age of 25 years cared for in Paediatric Diabetes Units with a diagnosis of diabetes, and with a valid age and sex attached to their record, reported by 177 Paediatric Diabetes Units. An additional five Units registered with the NPDA, but did not submit data.

In 2011-12 a new dataset and data collection process was adopted. The new dataset has many improvements over the previous version, including provision for multiple HbA1c and other tests, and more accurate recording of dates and data. Improvements to individual aspects of this report and methodological changes are discussed in the relevant section. For example, the HbA1c results now represent medians of several submitted values per patient, as opposed to a single value in 2010-11. This means caution should be taken when comparing some results with previous audit years.

Despite improvements in the recording of some individual care processes from previous years, the percentage of children and young people diagnosed with diabetes for at least one year and over the age of 12 years at the start of the audit year with all care processes recorded, as recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), has increased marginally to 6.7% in 2011-12, up from 5.8% in 2010-11. This proportion falls well short of similar data from the 2011-12 National Diabetes Audit (NDA) report for adults with diabetes, which shows for England and Wales, the proportion receiving all eight adult care processes in 2011-12 is 60.5% for all diabetes and 42.4% for Type 1 diabetes.

In England, 89% of boys and girls under the age of 25 years had their HbA1c measured, and 87% in Wales. This is a small improvement from the 85% who had their HbA1c measured in 2010-11.

The percentage of children and young people with diabetes achieving an HbA1c \<58 mmol/mol (7.5%) has increased from 14.5% in 2009-10 and 15.8% in 2010-11 to 17.4% in 2011-12. The greatest numbers of patients have an HbA1c between 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) and 80 mmol/mol (9.5%). Over a quarter of children and young people have an unacceptable HbA1c of >80 mmol/mol (9.5%).

Admissions to hospital with Diabetic Ketoacidosis will be published as a supplement to this report in February 2014. 2. Introduction

The National Paediatric Diabetes Audit (NPDA) report highlights the main findings on the quality of care for children and young people with diabetes mellitus in England and Wales. This is the ninth report and covers data submitted for patients under the age of 25 years who were being cared for in Paediatric Diabetes Units (PDUs) during the audit year 2011-12. This is the second report from the Royal College of Paediatric and Child Health (RCPCH), awarded the contract to conduct the NPDA from May 2011. The NPDA is commissioned and sponsored by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) as part of the national clinical audit programme. The programme is funded by NHS England and the Welsh Government.

The NPDA covers the components of the National Service Framework for Diabetes and includes details on the number of children and young people with diabetes in England and Wales, the care processes they receive and outcome measures, including inpatient admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis. This report covers the care process and outcome data only, with complications data to follow in a separate report.

The National Diabetes Audit (NDA) for adults reports on the provision of core diabetes care for everyone with diabetes, whereas the NPDA reports only on individual participation of PDUs and children and young people attending such services. Those reviewing the NDA and the NPDA reports side by side need to be aware of these differences but, equally, those wanting to get the most complete picture of local needs and service provision should consider the two reports together.

2011-12 has seen the launch of a new dataset, the development of a new electronic web platform (EWP) for submitting data and a new online data quality reporting tool. The new dataset has been developed to allow more scope for data analysis. Based on feedback the EWP has undergone some developmental changes to improve data collection and quality reporting for the 2012-13 NPDA.

There is a clear recognition that 2011-12 has been a year of transition to this new dataset and

- Because the care of adults and children with diabetes is mixed between GP services (this includes ALL patients) and hospital, paediatric and community specialist services (these each include SOME patients), the different ‘views’ that the two national audits NDA and NPDA give to the providers of the services will inevitably include overlapping patients. Thus, someone with diabetes attending a specialist service should also appear in the relevant GP report. The NDA integrates data from participating specialist and GP services for adults with diabetes so that if a care process or treatment target is recorded by one but not the other, both get the complete data reported back to them i.e. a ‘whole person’ view. This reflects the fact that there is no clinical value in duplicating something carried out elsewhere. The population level NDA reports include all people with diabetes in a geographical area, irrespective of their mix of provider services, and use integrated data where they are available.

The NPDA runs independently of the NDA and of GP services, so its data are not integrated. It is, therefore, possible that GP reports do not include all care processes or treatment targets measured in specialist paediatric units, and vice versa. Specialist PDUs are primarily responsible for the care of most children and young people with diabetes, and for the collection of their care process and outcome data. Although GPs do not provide the majority of care for children and young people living with diabetes, they do prescribe all their medications. Therefore it is this age group, and also adults with Type 1 or complex diabetes, that attend specialist services not participating in NDA, where lack of data integration is most likely to result in a slightly deficient ‘whole systems’ view. Furthermore, for under-17s, the age cut-off for the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) GP incentive scheme means that there is no financial value to the practice in replicating results from external services. Nonetheless, because fewer than 10% of all people with Type 1 diabetes, and fewer than 1% of people with diabetes in general are under 17 years, the overall impact on population level NDA results is minimal. submission process. It has presented many challenges to PDUs who are now asked to submit patient data for multiple visits over the audit year. Despite these challenges the number of PDUs submitting data has remained stable and the number of patient records has increased.

The new dataset has also presented challenges to the NPDA in terms of providing timely data quality reports back to submitting PDUs, and the extraction and analysis of multilevel patient data. However, this new dataset will come into line with many other international audits and registries, making comparisons more valid.

Over the nine years that the NPDA has been the basis for data collection on process and outcome measures of care for children and young people with diabetes, there have been many changes in the way services are structured and delivered. In England, with the help of the former NHS Diabetes, ten Regional Networks have been established and are geographically located in the former Strategic Health Authorities. The development of these Networks has helped considerably in the collection of annual audit data. They have also helped facilitate monitoring and benchmarking of services within region. Participation in the NPDA is now a mandatory standard for a PDU to receive its tariff in England. No such commissioning arrangements exist in Wales.

Over the last few years there has been a move towards intensification of therapy, including insulin dose adjustment for carbohydrate intake using multiple daily injections and/or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions. There is also recognition of the need for continuous structured educational programmes starting from diagnosis and continuing throughout childhood, adolescence and transition into adult services.

The NPDA will act as the measuring tool for the implementation of such initiatives. This report has demonstrated a significant improvement in the number of children and young people with diabetes achieving an HbA1c of \<58mmol/mol (7.5%), which is anticipated to be the beginning of year-on-year improvement as quality of care escalates. The peer review process established in England, and under negotiation in Wales, will act as a quality assurance tool to ensure nationally agreed standards are met.

The NPDA hopes that PDUs will use the data presented in this report to benchmark their own centres against others, and explore methods of driving up quality of care for their patients. The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the NPDA would like to thank PDUs that have submitted data to the 2011-12 audit.

Finally, data quality is of paramount importance when submitting data and PDUs are reminded to check the data quality report provided and act on any outstanding issues. The NPDA can only analyse data that fulfil the data entry criteria. Patients must have a valid NHS number, date of birth, date of diagnosis and gender submitted to be included in analyses of care processes and outcomes. Furthermore, they must be assigned a PDU PZ code. Care processes and outcomes can only be analysed if the result is a valid response and the date of measurement falls within the audit year. Much data submitted have to be excluded because it does not fulfil these criteria. The NPDA would urge submitting PDUs to check their data quality to ensure it is accurate and avoid any data being excluded. 3. Coverage and participation

A total of 177 PDUs in England and Wales successfully submitted data to the 2011-12 NPDA, representing 25,199 patients. A Paediatric Diabetes Unit is defined as a unit which delivers a paediatric diabetes healthcare service. It may represent one or more hospitals, as some services provide care across multiple sites. Data were received from 163 PDUs in England, which represents 97% of those registered with the NPDA (168), and from 14 PDUs within the six Health Boards in Wales, comprising 100% of services registered with the NPDA in Wales. Figure 1 shows the geographical spread of the 177 PDUs in England and Wales.

4.1 Registrations

Records from 25,390 children and young people with diabetes were submitted to the 2011-12 NPDA, an increase of 7.2%, compared with 2010-11. There were 417 patients who had visited (and as a result were recorded at) more than one PDU. A total of 191 records have been excluded from the 2011-12 analysis, as 114 were related to patients over the age of 25 years, or without a valid age; 65 did not have a valid record of gender, and 12 did not have a valid PDU code attached to them. Therefore, for England and Wales combined, there were a total of 25,199 children and young people under the age of 25 years registered with diabetes and with a valid age and sex attached to their record, reported from 177 PDUs, which were used in the analysis for the 2011-12 Report.

Table 1 shows the breakdown in registration by country, age and English region. The age breakdown categories have been changed from 2010-11 to allow comparisons to be made with the same age groups represented in the Census and other Office for National Statistics publications. Within England, the maximum number of registrations across all age groups was observed in the North West and East of England regions. In both England and Wales, age groups 10-14 and 15-19 years comprised the two largest groups of registered children and young people with diabetes.

4.1.1 Registrations by age and sex

Table 2 and Figure 2 shows registrations for boys and girls in each age band. Slightly more boys have been registered with diabetes than girls. Table 2: Number of children and young people with diabetes by age band, for England and Wales combined, 2011-12

4.1.2 Registrations by ethnicity and region

Of the 25,199 records analysed, 681 do not specify a valid ethnic origin as part of their registration. For PDUs in Wales, 98.9% of records provide ethnic origin; the corresponding figure from England is 97.0% which is significantly improved from 2010-11 when just 72.6% of registrations from England specified ethnic origin.

Table 3 and Figure 3 show the percentage of children and young people registered with diabetes by ethnic group for 2011-12. In both England and Wales the largest group was White. In England, Asians and Blacks were the two next largest patient ethnic groups. Note that some ethnic groups with very small populations have not been shown, so the percentages may not add up to 100%. ‘Not stated’ is offered as a specific response when parents or children do not wish to provide ethnicity information. However, the NPDA cannot validate this response as it may also be entered by a PDU when ethnicity is unknown or not recorded. In addition, there are some records with missing data on ethnicity which are also not shown. Table 3: Percentage of children and young people with diabetes by ethnic group, 2011-12

| Region | White | Mixed | Asian | Black | Other | Not stated | |-------------------------------|-------|-------|-------|-------|-------|------------| | England and Wales | 76.0 | 1.8 | 4.3 | 2.8 | 1.3 | 13.9 | | England | 74.6 | 1.8 | 4.5 | 2.9 | 1.4 | 14.7 | | Wales | 96.9 | 1.2 | 0.2 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 1.5 | | Regions in England | | | | | | | | East of England | 81.9 | 1.8 | 2.6 | 1.1 | 0.7 | 11.9 | | East Midlands | 86.3 | 1.8 | 5.2 | 1.8 | 1.5 | 3.4 | | London | 39.2 | 5.2 | 11.0 | 17.6 | 4.8 | 22.2 | | North East | 53.9 | 0.2 | 0.5 | 0.1 | 0.1 | 45.2 | | North West | 74.9 | 1.0 | 3.4 | 1.1 | 1.0 | 18.6 | | South Central | 83.8 | 0.8 | 1.8 | 0.9 | 0.4 | 12.2 | | South East | 77.9 | 2.8 | 5.2 | 3.8 | 2.4 | 8.0 | | South West | 84.7 | 0.8 | 0.8 | 1.3 | 0.3 | 12.1 | | West Midlands | 71.4 | 2.2 | 6.5 | 1.9 | 1.0 | 16.9 | | Yorkshire and the Humber | 82.8 | 1.0 | 6.4 | 0.7 | 1.0 | 8.1 |

4.1.3 Registrations by diabetes type

Over 98% of the records submitted to the Audit had a diabetes type recorded. 308 of those records did not specify ethnicity. Table 4 shows the breakdown of diabetes type by sex, nation and region in England. The vast majority of children and young people have Type 1 diabetes, although there is variability across regions in England. In both England and Wales there were slightly more boys with Type 1 diabetes. The second major group was those with Type 2 diabetes.

Table 5 shows the breakdown of children and young people with diabetes by type and ethnicity. There are a much higher proportion of children and young people with Type 2 diabetes in Asian, Other and Black ethnicities compared to White and Mixed ethnic groups.

4.2 Incidence rates

4.2.1 Incidence rates by country for type 1 diabetes

This section includes age and sex-specific diabetes population incidence rates for Type 1 diabetes for 2011-12. Recent evidence suggests that the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in children is rising and may double by 2020, which has important health care implications. NPDA incidence time trends need to be interpreted with caution, as the increase may be due to better reporting coverage of patients with diabetes, rather than to a true increase in incidence. The age-specific incidence rate is defined as the number of newly diagnosed cases of diabetes in a specific age group over a specific time period (i.e. 2011-12 year period) per total number of children and young people in that age group in the general population.

Table 6 and Figure 4 a and b show incidence rates by age and sex for England and Wales and combined in 2011-12. The 10-14 age group years had the highest rate of incidence of Type 1 diabetes. In England and Wales, boys had a marginally higher rate of incidence than girls for 2011-12, except in the 0-4 year age group. Note that the number of patients in the age group 20-24 years is small and only represents patients in this age group still being cared for at a PDU. By this age many patients will have moved to adult services and the rate in this age group will not represent a true rate. The reader should compare the rates published in the adult NDA 2011-12 for more information on this age range.

4b) Age-Sex Type 1 Diabetes Incidence Rates for England and Wales Combined Figure 5 shows the incidence rate (numbers of new cases per 100,000 age-specific population) in 2011-12, by country and by English region. For each region, the age group 10-14 years had the highest incidence per 100,000 persons in that age group, followed by those in age group 5-9 years. In addition, the incidence rate in England for all children and young people under 25 years is lower than the rate in Wales. Among all the regions in England, London has the lowest incidence rate of Type 1 diabetes.

**Figure 5: Type 1 diabetes incidence rate by country and English region, 2011-12** 5. Care processes and treatment targets

Audit question: What proportion of children and young people with diabetes are getting the key age-specific processes of diabetes care, and what proportion achieve treatment targets?

The NPDA collects information on the key care processes, recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), for children and young people with diabetes. The NPDA measures the percentage of children and young people with diabetes who are receiving the key processes of care which include:

- Glycated Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)
- Body Mass Index (BMI) (from 2011-12 both height and weight were recorded and BMI calculated)
- Blood pressure
- Urinary albumin
- Cholesterol
- Eye screening
- Foot examination

Key care processes are recorded to monitor diabetes management and detect long-term complications at the earliest treatable stage. Guidelines specify a starting age of 12 years for commencing all care processes with the exception of HbA1c, which should be recorded in children and young people of all ages with diabetes. The NPDA incorporates data collection for the age-relevant care process and provides analysis on this information. The measurement of blood creatinine was removed from the dataset for 2011-12, as it was deemed to be poorly representative as a care process in children and young people with diabetes.

In the analysis, children and young people were included if they had had a complete year of care, i.e. for 2011-12 had been diagnosed prior to 1st April, 2011 and for all care processes except HbA1c were 12 years of age or older on 1 April, 2011. Furthermore, the data entered needed to be valid and have a date of measurement recorded that was within the audit year.

5.1 Care processes

There has been a steady year-on-year improvement in the recording of all care processes individually, apart from HbA1c and BMI (Table 7). For 2011-12 multiple HbA1c data were collected on each patient, whereas previously it was a single data point. For BMI both height and weight were collected for 2011-12, which is more representative of the data collected by PDUs.

In the 2011-12 NPDA, the percentage of children and young people over the age of 12 years with all care processes recorded has increased to 6.7% (Table 7 and Figure 6). Although this represents an improvement, the figure remains low. The NPDA is unable to validate this figure against patient records, as there may be significant under-reporting of the care processes being performed, but not recorded for audit purposes. The proportion receiving all checks is significantly less than the proportion in the NDA 2011-12 for adults receiving all eight adult care processes, which shows an uptake of 60.5% for all diabetes and 42.4% for Type 1 diabetes.

Figure 6: Percentage of children and young people with diabetes aged 12 years and over having all care processes recorded, 2011-12

Figure 7 shows the percentage of care processes incomplete (apart from HbA1c), by PDU. These care processes include measurement of cholesterol, blood pressure, urinary albumin, body mass index (both height and weight), eye screening and foot examination. Individual Units can be identified in Appendix A by their PZ code. There are only four PDUs that returned results of 100% incompleteness, with a wide variation for others. This is much improved on 2010-11, when there were 20 such units. Figure 7: Percentage of care process incomplete (except HbA1c) by PDU, 2011-12

This section focuses specifically on HbA1c as it is recommended as the best indicator of long-term diabetes control. The following analysis examines the percentage of children and young people, of all ages, who had their HbA1c checked and recorded. For the 2011-12 Audit, multiple recordings of HbA1c could be submitted for each patient. This differs from previous audits where the last recorded HbA1c was submitted to the NPDA during the audit year. In the analysis, children and young people were included if they had had a complete year of care, i.e. for 2011-12 had been diagnosed prior to 1st April, 2011.

Table 8 and Figure 8 show the percentage of children and young people in different age groups by sex and nation who had their HbA1c measured. In England 89.5% of boys and 89.4% of girls under the age of 25 years had their HbA1c measured, and 86.4% of boys and 88.6% of girls in Wales.

Table 8: Percentage of children and young people with HbA1c measured, by age and sex, 2011-12

| Age Group | England Boys | England Girls | Wales Boys | Wales Girls | |-----------|--------------|---------------|------------|-------------| | 0-4 | 92.9 | 90.1 | 94.7 | 92.9 | | 5-9 | 92.0 | 90.9 | 95.3 | 95.7 | | 10-14 | 90.3 | 91.5 | 96.0 | 96.5 | | 15-19 | 87.8 | 87.0 | 69.8 | 75.8 | | 20-24 | 53.4 | 56.3 | 0.0 | 0.0 | | Total Under 25 | 89.5 | 89.4 | 86.4 | 88.6 |

Figure 9 (overleaf) is a bar chart of the percentage of patients who did not have the HbA1c care process completed, by PDU. The chart is similar to 2010-11 where 8 PDUs submitted less than 50% of their HbA1c data. Figure 9: Percentage who did not have the HbA1c care process completed, England and Wales by PDU, 2011-12

6.1 Treatment targets

Treatment targets can be viewed as part of the process of care or as an 'intermediate outcome', i.e. an intermediary step between a care process (what is done to the patient) and a 'hard' endpoint such as development of complications. For 2011-12 the NPDA has reported HbA1c values in accordance with the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) standardised concentrations of mmol/mol, indicating the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) aligned measures of percentage shown in brackets (%). For 2011-12, multiple HbA1c’s were submitted on each patient to give a more representative measure of diabetes control over the year of care, and to come into line with other international reporting audits and registries.

HbA1c values recorded less than three months from diagnosis were excluded as they are not representative of a patient’s overall diabetes control. In keeping with other international audits and registries the median HbA1c value for the year for each patient was used in the analysis. Furthermore, there was little difference between means and medians for each patient.

6.1.1 HbA1c target achievement

Table 9 shows the percentage of children and young people with diabetes achieving the HbA1c target ranges of \<58 mmol/mol (7.5%), ≥58 mmol/mol (7.5%) to ≤80 mmol/mol (9.5%), and >80 mmol/mol (9.5%) by country and sex in 2011-12. Only 16.7% of boys and 18.1% of girls achieve a target HbA1c of \<58 mmol/mol (7.5%) nationally. The greatest number of patients have their HbA1c recorded as between 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) and 80 mmol/mol (9.5%). There is virtually no difference in the percentage of children and young people within the HbA1c categories between England and Wales. Around one quarter of children and young people with diabetes have an HbA1c of >80 mmol/mol (9.5%).

Figure 10 shows the percentage of children and young people with diabetes achieving the NICE recommended HbA1c targets of \<58 mmol/mol (7.5%), ≥58 mmol/mol (7.5%) to ≤80 mmol/mol (9.5%), and >80 mmol/mol (9.5%) by country in 2011-12.

Table 10 shows the percentage of children and young people with diabetes by HbA1c target band achieved, for England and Wales, for 2010-11 and 2011-12. The percentage achieving an HbA1c of less than 58 mmol/mol (7.5%) in England and Wales, has increased from 15.8% in 2010-11 to 17.4% in 2011-12. Caution should be taken in the interpretation of this change, due to the change in the analysis of HbA1c summarised above.

The increased participation in the 2011-12 National Paediatric Diabetes Audit is an indicator that those delivering care to children and young people with diabetes value the importance of the annual audit. There have been some improvements in the recording of individual care processes, although the proportion of patients receiving all seven care processes remains low.

The increased number of children and young people with an HbA1c \<58 mmol/mol (7.5%) is an encouraging sign that the tide has turned and marks the start of a year on year improvement in this outcome measure. There is of course much variability in this figure across England and Wales, which needs addressing through quality assurance programmes such as the peer review process, already established in England.

The development of the Regional Networks and the introduction of the Best Practice Tariff in England will contribute towards delivery of a high-quality service to children and young people with diabetes. The NPDA will continue to monitor this process by mapping the recording of care processes and clinical outcomes.

The NPDA team is aware that the new dataset and the new EWP for submission of data established for 2011-12 needs time to bed in, but we believe that in the long term it will provide an improved Audit that can be benchmarked equally against Audits and Registries internationally. 8.
